Location

History

Mitsumineguchi Station opened on 15 March 1930 as the terminus of the private Chichibu Railway's Chichibu Main Line. Located in present-day Chichibu, Saitama, it sits 71.7 km from the opposing terminus at Hanyū and is served by through-running services from the Seibu-Chichibu Line. The staffed station has one side platform and one island platform serving three tracks, with stabling and run-round tracks alongside platform 3 and through former freight platforms. A turntable is provided to turn the steam locomotives that work the SL Paleo Express tourist services. The adjacent Chichibu Railway Park preserves a fleet of historic rolling stock and locomotives next to the turntable.

Notes

A number of old Chichibu Railway vehicles are preserved in the Chichibu Railway Park on the north side of Mitsumineguchi Station, beside the turntable: the electric locomotives DeKi1 and ED38 1, the EMU cars DeHa 107 and KuHaNi 29, and freight stock including SuMu 4023, ToKi 502, the guard's van Yo 15, WaKi 824 and WaFu 51.
